Are you happy? Happiness isn’t a time, place, person or thing •
Thinking that you will finally be happy when you achieve “this” at some point in the future, or that you were really happy when you were travelling at “that place” in the past are no good, because you aren’t there right now. It’s fine to remember those moments fondly and it’s okay to have dreams for the future, but you can’t live there. Living in the future or in the past only hurts you. All you really have right now is the present moment •
Happiness is not where you are, who you are with or what and how much you have either. Sure, those things can help to make you happier, but ultimately they do not make you happy •
Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness is a mentality. Happiness is simply a by-product of living a loving, meaningful life, everyday •
Happiness is living a life of gratitude versus living a life of scarcity, because there is always going to be something more that you want and don’t have. If you have a means to support yourself, a roof over your head, your health, family and friends that love you, you know where your next meal is coming from, you have water to drink and air to breathe... there is PLENTY to be happy about. You are ALIVE and WELL. Everything else is just a bonus •
